For those keen to get their local games fix before the end of the year, here is a last minute reminder that the Film & Television Institute of WA will be hosting a Pop-Up Arcade at the Perth Cultural Centre this weekend. Whether you’re looking to entertain the tykes now that the school holidays have unleashed them, or you just want to try out some fun games on the big screen, the Pop-Up Arcade is surely the place to be.

Local developer Chris Kruger of Kruger Heavy Industries has been working with Data Realms on Cortex Command, since 2008. It’s finally hit release, and is available on Steam, or for direct purchase from Data Realms. Chris worked initially on the Macintosh versions, general bug fixing and coding, helped out on the Linux version and more recently orchestrated its release on Steam.
